PREFACE.

c. Ash and Sons, in preparing another edition of their Illustrated Catalogue,
have endeavoured to make it complete as a Book of reference, so that Dentists
in all parts of the world may Le able to obtain whatever they require with
the greatest ease and certainty. For this purpose the Wood Engravings
have been considerably increased in number, and great care has been taken
to represent the form, &c., of each article as accurately as possible. This
will be found to be particularly the case with respect to Dental Instruments,
where the different kinds used, and the immense variety of forms required,
are illustrated with sucb exactness that Dentists will be able to make their
selection of new kinds, or replace any which they have in use, as easily as if
the actual stock of Instruments were before them to select from.

The increasing demand for C. Ash and Sons\' manufactures is a satis-
factory proof to them that their constant endeavours to meet the requirements
of the profession have been appreciated; and while thankfully acknow-
ledging past favours, they again solicit a continuance of that confidence and
support which has always stimulated them to renewed exertion in order to
maintain and extend the reputation they have obtained.

C. Ash and Sons give particular attention to every new development of
the Dental Art, whether in its surgical or mechanical departments, in order
that all new materials and appliances may be supplied without delay, and
consequently their home and foreign depots are repositories of the improve-
ments of the age. It is their intention rigidly to adhere to those principles
upon which for nearly sixty years their business has been conducted. They
therefore look forward with confidence to an increasing share of those favours
which they have so long enjoyed.

EEMARKS ON ORDERING GOODS, &c.

When ordering Goods from the Catalogue the number of the page
should always be given, and if the article is illustrated, the number of
the illustration also.

A fresh line should be commenced for each article required.

The Address to which the Goods are to be sent should be distinctly
written.

Dentists residing at a distance will find the Post a convenient and safe
means for conveying Patterns for Gold, Teeth, &c.

Goods that can be distinctly specified can be ordered by Telegraph.

To facilitate the sending of orders, 0. Ash and Sons supply to their
Customers, on application, Printed Order Books with a counterfoil attached,
so that a record can be kept of the goods ordered. Printed Envelopes
addressed to " C.
Ash and Sons " are also supplied if desired.

Goods obtained from other houses if required.

Orders received up to 3 o\'clock are usually despatched by Post or Eail
the same evening.

Postage is only charged upon heavy articles of small amount.

Precious metals exceeding twenty shillings in value, unless otherwise
directed, are registered at the expense of the purchaser.

Goods to the Colonies and foreign parts are insured, if requested, at the
expense of the purchaser, and the order should state whether the packing
cases are to be lined with tin or not.

-ocr page 17-

Orders from the Colonies and foreign parts must be accompanied by a
remittance, unless an Agent in London is appointed, to whom the goods
may be delivered on payment of the amount.

All goods are despatched at the risk of the purchaser.

Bankers\' Drafts, Bank or Mercantile Bills, should be crossed " Union
Bank of London."

Post-OfRce Orders should be made payable at the Chief Office, St. Martin\'s
le Grand, London, to
Claudius Ash and Sons. The cost of obtaining Post-
Office Orders is allowed by C.
Ash and Sons, who will supply, on application,
printed forms for obtaining them.

Amounts under twenty shillings may be remitted in postage stamps.

C. Ash and Sons continue to purchase old Gold, Silver, Platinum, Board
and Floor Sweep. They do not object to purchase small quantities, but as
every lot has to be tested separately to ascertain its intrinsic value, the
larger the quantity sent, the greater will be the advantage to their customers,
the expense of a number of testing trials being thereby avoided.

Eegisters are kept by C. Ash and Sons—of " Partnerships and Practices
for Disposal,"—of "Dentists requiring Assistants,"—and of "Dentists\'
Assistants " seeking Engagements.

No Charge is made for Eegistering, and Copies of the Eegisters are
supplied Free of Cost on application.

Dentists\' Assistants must produce a Certificate from their last or present
employer, as to Ability and Character, before their names can be entered on
the Eegister.

Hours of Business from 8-30 a.m. to 6-0 p.m. On Saturdays until 2 0 p.m.

C. ASH .AND SONS\'

MINERAL TEETH.

C. Ash and Sons\' stock comprises a most extensive assortment of Tube,
Pivot, Vulcanite, and Flat Teeth, of various forms, sizes, and colours. These
Teeth have long been esteemed for their excellence and similarity to Natural
Teeth in form and colour, and also because they are free from porosity (or
air-bubbles) in their texture, and can therefore be ground and polished to
any extent that may be necessary to suit special cases.

The greatest care and attention is bestowed on this, the staple branch of
their Manufactures, and new forms, sizes, and colours, are being continually
added to their stock, in order to meet as far as possible the requirements of
an art which has for its object the close imitation of Natural Teeth in their
infinite varieties of form, colour, and general appearance.

When ordering Teeth it is necessary to specify distinctly the kind and
size required;—whether they are to be Tube, Vulcanite, or Flat;—Large,
medium, or small;—-Long or Short Enamelwhether the sets are to contain
6, 14, or 28 Teeth;—and when portions of sets are required for. special
cases, for which side of
the Patients mouth they are intended—and as far as
convenient, patterns for colour should be sent.

Those Dentists who may desire it, can be supplied with rows of teeth of
the colours and shades which are chiefly in demand, and Teeth of any of
these colours can be obtained by writing the letter A, B, 0, &e., for the
colour, and the
number of the tooth, for the degree of shade required; thus,
B/3, D/4, &c. These rows of Teeth are not intended to represent all the
colours or shades kept in stock, but they are useful as proximate shades,
and may be found convenient as means of reference when patterns cannot
be sent.

Japanned or leather cases, or nests of drawers, are supplied for keeping
an assortment of Teeth.

A discount is allowed to Dentists purchasing Teeth in large quantities.

G-OLD FOILS

PKEPAKED BY

0. ASH AND SONS.

C. Ash and Sons bestow great pains upon the preparation of the various
kinds of Gold Foil used by Dentists, and the increasing demand for them
is a satisfactory proof that their efforts to produce the best preparations
are appreciated. Great care is taken, not only to obtain uniformity of
thickness in the various kinds made by them, but also in the process of
annealing, in order to obtain that amount of ductility which is so essential
to the operator in producing compact and perfect stoppings.

C. ASH AND SONS\'

METALLIC PASTE.

for stoppino teeth.

This Metallic Stopping is a compound of intrinsic and unobjectionable
Metals, requiring but a small quantity of Mercury to convert it into a paste,
and when applied to the Tooth soon becomes a\' hard, compact body, that will
not change colour or decompose in the mouth, providted Pure Mercury is
used. When the cavity is filled, the Stopping will take a high polish by
first smoothing with pumice and then finishing with a burnisher or precipi-
tated chalk.

This Stopping, while it becomes sufficiently hard for the purpose of masti-
cation, can if necessary be removed from the cavity by means of a sharp
drill and excavator.

Ivory and other Bottles for Mercury. See p. 111.

This preparation, having been used by Dentists in England and abroad for
the last, twenty years, has now become established as a Paste-Stopping.
The combination between the Mercury and the Metallic Compound is so
perfect, that it becomes as one metal, and there is no possibility of the
Mercury ever separating from it. Stoppings which have been eight or ten
years in the mouth (after being slightly scratched on the surface) are found
as bright and solid as when first applied.

* N.B.—It is absolutely necessary that chemicaUy piare Mercury be used for Metallic Paste-Stoppings:
the Mercury commonly sold as pure is known to contain Lead, Antimony, &c., which impurities cannot lie
separated by mere distillation, and if used with the Filings alters the compound and causes it to become
discoloured in the mouth.

This Metallic Stopping was originally introduced as C. Ash and Sons\'
" ^^^ Stopping." It is supplied only in packets. Each packet contains
about the quantity of
Mercury required to be mixed with the filings.

A two-ounce packet contains one ounce of Filings and one ounce of
Mercury, and a twelve-ounce packet,—six ounces of Filings and six ounces
of Mercury.

0. Ash and Sons have adopted this plan to prevent confounding it when
ordered with their best
Metallic Paste Stopping, and also to ensure the
use of
pure Mercury,

C. ASH AND SONS\'
DENTAL RUBBERS.

The extensive and daily increasing use of Vulcanite as a base for Arti-
ficial Teeth, renders it of the utmost importance that Dentists should be
able readily and with certainty to obtain those compounds of india-rubber or
caoutchouc which are best adapted for the purpose, discredit having to some
extent been cast upon the use of Vulcanite by inferior preparations.

C. Ash and Sons have, from the first introduction of Vulcanite, devoted
especial attention to this branch of their manufactures, and having fitted up
machinery of the best description, they continue to spare no pains or
expense to obtain and compound the best and purest materials. The
following Dental Eubbers are recommended to Dentists for their purity,
strength, and excellence.

C. ASH AND SONS\' DENTAL CATALOGUE.

The Pink Dental Rubbers are the result of a long series of experiments, in
the carrying out of which
C. Ash and Soxs obtained the assistance of some
of the best chemists of the day. The knowledge they have thus acquired
enables them to guarantee to the Profession the greatest amount of strength
and solidity which can be obtained without the use of materials of a poison-
ous or deleterious nature.

The No. 1 and No. 1 x Pink Rubbers were considered by the Jurors of
the International Exhibition of 1862 to be of extreme excellence."

The S..P. Dental Rubber is manufactured to meet the exigencies of those
cases in which greater strength is required than can possibly be obtained
when the. primary object is the production of so delicate a tint as that of the
No. 1 or No. 1 X Pink Rubber. It contains but a little more than a fourth
part of the foreign matter which is found in any other Pink Rubber. It is
recommended for its good colour, and is much stronger than any Pink
Rubber that has yet been made.. If the colour is not considered sufficiently
natural (or gum-like), it is easy to coat the exposed parts with the No, 1
or No. 1 X Pink Rubber ; and a strong artificial piece can be made in this
way, with only a slight and unobjectionable difference between the colour of
the two kinds of Rubber used in its construction.

The White Dental Rubber is preferred by .some Dentists on account of its
approximation to the colour of bone. Its strength is about the same as that
of the Pink Rubbers.

Ohilds\' G. Dental Rubber is now ,so well known and extensively used that
any remarks upon its strength and excellence are quite unnecessary. The
original recipe is only in the possession of
C. Ash and Sons.

The A. E. Dental Rubber is especially prepared by C. Ash and Sons for
the use of those Dentists who prefer a more flexible material than the ordi-
nary Dental Rubbers.

The soft Dental Rubbers aue for lining palates for tender gums.

The above Rubbers are supplied in 1 lb. and lib. sealed packets, with
directions for vulcanizing.

Sample packets, containing 2 oz. or 4 oz., will be forwarded on application.

C. Ash and Sons being always desirous of introducing to the notice of
the Profession any improvements in the art to which they have devoted
their attention for so many years, have purchased from
Mk. Morrison,
at a considerable cost, the right to manufacture and supply these Chairs in
Europe.

The Mechanical Arrangements of this Chair are such as to enable the
Operator to place his patient in any position which it is possible for him to
require; and yet the means employed are so simple and so much out of
sight, that the general appearance of the Chair is not likely to alarm the
most nervous patient.

MORRISON\'S PATENT DENTAL CHAIR.

-ocr page 38-

MORRISON\'S PATENT DENTAL CHAIR

(Continued).
No. 1.

This Chair is so simple in appearance, and yet combines in itself such a
variety of movements, and such facilities for adjusting and fixing them in
any position, that it may well be considered one of the
greatest Improve-
ments in Dental Chairs of the present day. A description of the several
parts is as follows :—

The Body of the Chair can be rotated in any direction, either back-
ward or forward, or from side to side, and be securely fixed at any
point by means of a foot lever, so that the patient can be readily placed at
any angle, from an upright to a recumbent position.

IP

-ocr page 39-

The Seat is so constructed that the patient can be raised, while sitting,
from 18 to 41 inches from the ground, and can be lowered again with ease
by a few turns of the handle.

The Back of the chair has a separate motion, so that it has a varying
height of from 13 to 24 inches, independent of the head-piece.

The Head-Piece can be raised and lowered as may be required. It
has a lateral, a backward and forward, as well as a rotary action, so that the
head of the Patient can be brought close to the Operator. By
reversing
the head-piece a second cushion is brought into action, by which the head
of the Patient is pushed forward and downward for operations on the lower
jaw. Each and all of these movements are obtained in the most simple
manner, and are securely fixed by means of a single handle.

The Arms of the Chair are made to slide up and down in a groove, so
that they can be raised to any height, or be lowered to the level of the seat,
if in the way of performing any operation.

The Foot Rest is attached to the b^dy of the Chair, and rises and falls
with it.

The Base or Foot of the Chair is so constructed, that the feet and legs
of the Operator do not in any way come in contact with it.

This Chair is without • its equal for operations upon children, as the
Operator can lower the back to suit the youngest child, and can raise the
seat to any height most convenient to himself, so that operations upon
children can now be carried on at the same height as upon adults.

The great advantage to a Dentist of a Chair having all the movements
enumerated above is this: that he can place his Patient so perfectly under
his control, that he is not only able to perform operations while
standing,
without the fatigue consequent upon stooping or leaning over his patient,
but he is enabled to perform in a
sitting position, with the greatest ease,
those operations which occupy a considerable time to execute them perfectly.
While this advantage tends in no small degree to the preservation of
the health and life of the Operator, it enables him at the same time to
undertake more operations during the day than would be possible with any
other chair now in use.

DENTAL mSTEUMENTS.

C. Ash and Sons have for many years given their special attention to this
branch of their business, knowing how much depends upon the shape of each
instrument, the quality of the steel used in its manufacture, and the care
which is exercised in the hardening and tempering; and so confident are
they of the excellent quality of their" instruments, that they will be most
ready to exchange any sent from their Establishment, which may be found
to be defective either in material, construction, or degree of hardness, pro-
vided such instruments are returned soon after they are purchased.

The following engravings represent some of the various instruments made
under their direction. They have been drawn with great care, so that the
form or shape of each instrument is accurately represented, and in the case
of Stoppers, Scalers, Excavators, Drills, Burnishers, &c., the
actual size is also
given, so that the exact form and size of the instrument can be seen as well
from the engraving as from the instrument itself.

Dentists, when ordering, have only to give the page in the Catalogue and
the number of the Illustration, in order to receive the exact instrument they
desire.

Dental Instruments sent to be repaired or repolished are returned with
as little delay as possible.

0. ASH AND SONS\' FORCEPS.

As the successful operation of extraction depends so much upon the exact
adaptation of the mouths of Forceps to the particular Tooth for which they
are intended,
0. Ash and Sons have for upwards of twenty years given
their particular attention to this branch of their business, so that their
Forceps, in consequence of being accurately fitted to the necks of the
Teeth, will be found to grasp the fangs with sufficient firmness for their
removal, without the danger of crushing the crowns.

Great care also is taken, not only in the selection of the steel of which
they are made, but also in the hardening and tempering them when finished,
so that they may bear the necessary amount of pressure which is put upon
them, without bending or breaking.

NITROUS OXIDE GAS.

Nitrous Oxide being now so extensively used in Dental Surgery as a means
for producing Ansestliesia, C.
Ash & Sons have given considerable time
and attention to the manufacture of the best kinds of apparatus employed
in making this gas, and for administering the same to patients; and, in
order that the profession may have the fullest means of obtaining informa-
tion upon the subject, they have set apart one of their Show Rooms, not
only for the exhibition of all the most approved apparatus and appliances
yet known, but also for the occasional
manufacture of the Gas,* in order
that those Dentists intending to nrnke it themselves may be instructed in
the best way of doing so.

C. Ash & Sons will avail themselves of any improvements which increased
experience may suggest, whether originating at home or abroad, and will
take care that due notice be given of the same from time to time.

The following is a description of the most approved apparatus yet known,
.and the manner of using it. For prices, see Page 133.

DIEEOTIONS

For setting up the Apparatus, and for malcing Nitrous Oxide Gas.

Place the Gasometer, Fig. 1, on level ground, then put the tubes A and
B, with the lettered ends downwards, into their respective sockets. Then
put the steijis of the wheels A and B into their proper holes in the cross-
piece C, and drop them into the upper ends of the tubes A and B.

Then attach each cord to the hooks on the top of the gasholder D, and

* The days appointed for the present are Mondays and Fridaj^ between Three and
Five
o\'clock.

after passing them over their respective wheels attach to the other ends

their sets of weights. Then iill up the lower half of the gasometer with water

to within an inch of the top of the glass tube or water gauge. Before using

the gasometer, press down the holder as far as it will go, so as to empty it as

much as possible of the atmospheric air. Then shut the top tap in pipe E

and open the bottom tap, through which the Nitrous Oxide Gas has to
pass.

-ocr page 131-

Put into the flask, one, two, or more pounds of nitrate of ammonia.
Then suspend it inside the glazed wooden case by means of the wire cramp
to the iron hook on the top of the case, or to Kirby\'s Extinguisher, if
that is used. Then arrange the three wash-bottles in a row, connecting
them one with the other, as shown in Fig. 2: then half-fill the bottle
No. 1 with water. No. 2 with a solution of iron, and No. 3 with a solution
of potash. The iron solution is made by dissolving three ounces of proto-
sulphate of iron in a pint and a half of water. For the potash solution
dissolve one ounce of caustic potash in a pint and a half of water.

When all the connections are made, light the gas-burner, or spirit lamp
under the flask, and gently get up the heat. As soon as the nitrate of
ammonia begins to melt, the heat may be gradually increased. When the

APPAEATUS FOE GENEEATINO THE GAS.

-ocr page 132-

nitrous oxide gas begins to be evolved, whicb will be known by the appear-
ance of bubbles of gas passing through the wash-bottles, care must be taken
to so regulate the heat that nitric or nitrous acid, &c., is not generated.
When either of these acids are being evolved, dense white fumes will ajapear
in the first and second wash-bottles.

The connection between the last bottle and the gasometer should not be
made until the nitrous oxide emanating from it will reignite the red embers
of a newly extinguished match. As soon as it will do this, make the con-
nection, after opening the tap of the gasometer, and the gasholder will
gradually rise out of the water until it is quite full.

The vacuum valve G (page 123) is placed in the first bottle, so that, in
the event of the heat being suddenly shut off from the flask, sufficient
air will be admitted through it to fill up the vacuum that would otherwise
draw the liquids from one bottle to the other, and lastly into the flask
itself, and cause it to burst.

When sufficient nitrous oxide has been made, turn off the gas from the
burner under the flask, and (if no vacuum valve is used) immediately
after, break the connection between the first and second bottles by slipping
the india-rubber pipe off the end of one of the glass tubes so as to prevent
the vacuum forming as described above.

When first making the gas it is absolutely necessary to generate sufficient
to fill the gasholder, in order to saturate the water in the tank. Water will
take up about its own volume of gas, therefore in starting a 50-gallon
gasometer (without a centre core), it will be necessary to make 60 gallons
of gas, which will take about 2^ lbs. of nitrate of ammonia; the gradual
descending of the gasholder will indicate the action of the water in absorb-
ing the gas. Care however should be taken to make a fresh supply before
the gasholder has quite descended, otherwise a vacuum will be formed, and
the weight of the atmosphere pressing on the outside of the gasholder will
crush it in, besides doing other injuries. When the water is once charged
with gas it will last many months without taking up scarcely any more.*

* 0. Ash & Sons\' Gasometers, with three-quarter cores or inner chambers, require but
a small quantity of water to fill them, and consequently absorb much less gas.

-ocr page 133-

The operation of gas-maldng should be concluded when the nitrate of
ammonia in the flask is reduced to about six ounces, to prevent the danger
of generating impure gas by the too great heat upon the smaller quantity
of ammonia. By using Mr. Kirby\'s Extinguisher (see p. 126) this danger
is entirely avoided.

Two pounds of nitrate of ammonia will produce in one hour at least 40
gallons of pure nitrous oxide gas, provided constant attention is given in
regulating the heat, so that nitrous or nitric acid cannot be formed. Nitrous
oxide gas, when pure, should have a slightly agreeable odour, and a pleasant
sweetish taste. When it tastes of copper or is pungent, it is not pure, and
should not be used.

After the gas is made it should stand in the gasometer in contact with
the water for several hours before being used. Some prefer it when it is
two or three days old.

The iron solution in the wash-bottle will last for some weeks, but should
be renewed when a quantity of red precipitate collects at the bottom of the
bottle. The potash solution will also last a long time, but should be
renewed when crystals of nitrate of potash are deposited on the sides of the
bottle.

The action of heat upon nitrate of ammonia is as follows:—It fuses at
226°, boils at 360°, evolves gas at from 460° to 485°, at 500° and upwards
it gives off nitrous and nitric acids, accompanied sometimes with an
explosion.

MR. STEVENSON\'S INDICATOR.

(See G, Fig. 1, Page 122.)

The use of this invention is to indicate to the operator the exact quantity
of nitrous oxide gas inhaled by the patient.

The Indicator not only registers the total quantity inhaled, but also the
quantity breathed at each inspiration. It is also most useful for ascertain-
ing that the patient is inhaling gas and not merely drawing in the surround-
ing atmosphere, from the face-piece not fitting accurately, or from any

-ocr page 134-

Other cause; this is often difficult to ascertain, and especially so when the
gasometer is in an adjoining room.

The Indicator G (Fig. 1, Page 122) is an enamelled dial in oak frame,

numbered up to ten gallons, each gallon being divided into quarts. It

has also a smaller dial on the same face, numbered to fifty gallons, so

that one circuit of the large hand immediately registers ten gallons on the

small dial, and so on up to fifty gallons. The movable hand attached

to the glass front should be turned to where the large hand stops at the

finish of each operation : it will then show the starting point for the next
inhalation.

Pulleys and cord are supplied to make the connection between the
indicator and gasometer.

ME. S. A. KIEBT\'S GAS EXTINGUISHEE.

(See Pig. 2, Page 123.)

The use of this self-acting apparatus is to shut off the coal gas from the

burner when the nitrate of ammonia in the flask is reduced to six ounces.

It is considered desirable never to have less than this quantity in the flask,

for heat acts so rapidly upon a small quantity that, without constant

watching, the temperature rises quickly to 500°, and the consequence

IS the generation of nitrous or nitric acids, ammoniacal gases, or other
impurities.

directions.

When first starting with a new flask, put into it six ounces of nitrate of
ammonia, then hang it on to the hook at the end of the apparatus by means
of the flask cramp, then slide the movable weight C (Fig. 2, Page 123) to
the other end of the bar, until it exactly balances the flask with its" contents.
When this is done, fix the weight by means of the screw provided for that
purpose. Then put into the flask, in addition to the six ounces, one, two,\' or
more pounds of nitrate of ammonia, hang it again on the hook, and open the
tap A of the Extinguisher by bringing the projecting piece of wire on the

-ocr page 135-

balance handle B, in contact with the projecting end of the bar on which
the weight slides. Then attach a piece of flexible tubing from the gas
supply pipe to the end of the tube D, and another piece from tube E to the
gas-burner F then light the burner, and proceed with the gas-making.
As soon as the contents of the flask are reduced to just below six ounces, it
being lighter than the weight on the end of the lever, the weight moves
downwards, and the balance-handle attached to the tap falls and shuts off
the coal gas. When once the weight is adjusted to the flask it need not be
touched, so long as that particular flask lasts; but, as flasks differ in size,
the weight must be set when a new flask is used.

* If the Thermo-Eegulator is used, the flexible tubing from tube E must be attached
to one end of the "f piece of the Thermo-Eegulator, and another piece of tubing from the
other end of T piece to the burner, so that the coal gas must pass through the Regulator
before it reaches the burner.

ASH\'S THERMO-EEGULATOE.

Fig. 3.

TO THE BURNER ^-«ifi--n^ifc^l TO THE CAS MAIN

The use of the above invention is to regulate the supply of coal gas to
burner, when making the nitrous oxide gas, that the right temperature rhay
always be kept in the flask, thus ensuring pure nitrous oxide being made,
and also preventing breakages.

-ocr page 136-

description oe regulator.

The Regulator consists of two chambers, divided through the centre by a
diaphragm of indiarubber, D. Into the upper chamber is inserted a
T tap,
C and E, which is divided through its length, so that the coal gas entering
on one side, passes down into the chamber and up the other side to the
burner. Into the lower chamber is inserted a tube (open at the end) which
is in direct communication with the pressure in the wash-bottle. The
pressure is caused by a small plug placed in the exit tube of the second
bottle, so that if the gas is generated faster than it can escape through this
plug there is a pressure in the bottle, which acts upon the Eegulator, and
so partially cuts off the supply of coal gas to burner. The
T tap has a
small hole through its division, which admits sufficient gas to burner to
prevent the flame being at any time entirely extinguished.

directions for use.

Take out the T piece or tap of .Eegulator and attach to one side of it
(either will do) a piece of indiarubber tube from gas main (or from Kirby\'s
Extinguisher, if that is used), and from the other side of
T tap, another piece
to burner, then replace the tap in its former position and press down as far
as it will go. Turn on the tap of service pipe and light the gas at burner ;
the flame obtained with the T tap in this position is sufficient to warm up
the flask; then increase the flame by gradually raising the
T tap until the
ammonia is melted and nitrous oxide is being generated, and after having
tested the purity of the gas, as per directions on Page 124, make the con-
nection between last wash-bottle and gasometer; then set the
T tap of
Eegulator so that it be raised about
f inch. This should give a nice steady
flame to burner, and the Eegulator is then self-acting. At no time should
the
T tap be left raised so as to show the line marked on it, as it would be
out of reach of the indiarubber diaphragm.

P.S. The vacuum valve is now separated from the Eegulator and placed
in the first bottle, as described on Page 124.

EARTH\'S ECONOMISING APPARATUS

FOB

ADMINISTERING NITROUS OXIDE.
Fig. 4.

This apparatus consists of a japanned zinc gas-holder and water tank
with an interior core. These are secured on a mahogany tablet by three
binding screws, or by turn buttons. The gasometer has an inhaling tap, 0,
suitable inhaling tube, and a face-piece and stop-cock; also a scale rod,
divided into quarts and gallons of capacity. In the inside of the gasometer
there is a double net surrounding the opening of the inhaling cock; and on
the core of the well or water-holder is a zinc vessel to contain the solution

-ocr page 138-

of caustic potash or lime water for removing carbonic acid if the gas after
being inhaled is returned again to the gasometer. The small tap, A, on the
gas-holder is intended to allow gas to be let in from any store receptacle.
When used with a bottle of compressed or liquid gas, the bottle is placed on
the tablet within the core of the well or water-holder, and connected with
the interior of the gas-holder by screwing the union joint B of the metal
pipe to the joint of the gas-bottle.

This inhaling apparatus is for the purpose of economising the nitrous
oxide gas by enabling the patient to breathe the same gas over and over
again, about a gallon and a half being sufficient to produce the ansesthetic
condition for a short operation on one patient. As the gas is breathed
backward and forward it passes through a net charged with freshly-slacked
lime, for the purpose of taking up the carbonic acid gas and other impurities
with which it has become impregnated in its passage through the lungs.

If this apparatus is used in connection with Clover\'s Face-piece for the
administration of gas which is not to be breathed over again, then it will be
necessary to pass into the gas-holder one or two additional gallons of gas
during the administration, as the gas-holder when filled contains only
3^ gallons.

For making the caustic potash solution, dissolve one drachm potassa fusa in one
pint of water. For caustic lime solution take four ounces of
recently-burnt lime, slake it
with water, as soon as cool add a sufficient quantity of water to bring it to the con-
sistence of thin cream, nearly fill the zinc vessel on the top of the core with it, sprinkle
two drachms of crystals of sulphate of soda on the solution, and it -will be ready for use.
This solution will, on the average, suffice for twelve patients; it must then be renewed.
The nets should be frequently rinsed with clean water to free them from the carbonate
of lime which accumulates after use. Always observe that all joints and connections
are made and kept air-tight, and that the valve of the gas-bottle is tightly and securely
screwed up when left, or the gas may leak out. If the taste of the inhaling tube be
complained of as unpleasant, a teaspoonful of tincture of lavender, or eau de cologne
poured into it will partly cover the taste. The tube and gas-holder should be occasion-
ally washed out with Condy\'s Ozonized Water in a diluted form, in order to mitigate as
far as possible the defect of all economising apparatus, viz., that the inhaling tube and
gas-holder being used for the
returned gas, they are liable to be impregnated with
impurities from the lungs of the various patients breathing into them.

DENTAL catalogue;

This Facepiece is made of sheet-lead covered with leather, so as to be
easily moulded to the face, and is edged with india-rubber tubing, tilled
with air or water, so that the nose and mouth may be covered with an
air-tight cap. It has two valves, one for inhaling, the other for exhaling
the gas.

dikections for xj8b.

Push the short tube of the two-way stopcock C on the tube B, or
inspiratory valve, of the Facepiece, and connect the long tube by means
of an india-rubber pipe to the gas-holder. The mouth gag is then placed
in the mouth of the patient, to keep it open during the inhalation of
the gas. The Facepiece is then put on and adjusted to the face. While
this is being done the patient is supplied with atmospheric air by a move-
ment of the slide D downwards, which opens a hole for the admission of
air, at the same time closing the one for the admission of gas. When the
patient is ready, a reverse movement of the slide, viz. upwards, closes the
air-hole and admits the gas. When a supplemental bag is used to economize
the gas, it must be attached to tube E of the Facepiece,

The tap of bag should be opened after about the fourth or fifth inhalation,
the operator\'s finger being placed upon the expiratory valve A, the expired
gas will then pass into the supplemental bag, and be breathed backwards
and forwards from it. Some Facepieces have a spring stop attached to
the valve A, to be used instead of the finger of the operator.

These Gags are supplied in pairs, which are tied to each end of a piece
of silk cord, in order to prevent the possibility of the patient swallowing
one, while inhaling the Nitrous Oxide Gas, without tlie operator knowing it.

Mr. McAdam\'s Mouth Props, Fig. 7, are made on the same principle as
Mr. Clover\'s, viz. in two parts, with spring or elastic body intervening, but
they have the advantage of soft rubber pads for the teeth. The Gag is
placed in the mouth with the handle inserted, which keeps it at its shortest
position. When securely placed between the teeth, the handle is removed,
so that, should the patient open his mouth while inhaling the gas, the Gag
will rise, and thus be prevented from falling into the mouth.

flattened at the opposite end, to prevent them turning round or falling
through, and when the socket

C. Ash and Sons, from their long experience in the nse of corundum,
Imow how to select the kind and quality best adapted for dental purposes.
Their method of crushing it, prevents as much as possible dulling the sharp
edges of the particles while reducing them to their several grits. It is this
cutting quality which has obtained for this manufacture the high estimation in
which it is held both in England and abroad. For prices, &c., see page 166.

C. Ash and Sons\' Corundum Files are used very extensively in the mouth
for cutting down stumps, &c. Not only do they cut rapidly, but there is
much less vibration than with a steel file, and consequently the operation is
less disagreeable to the patient. They should be dipped in water frequently
whilst in use. For prices, see page 166.

Vulcanizers, with Bunsen\'s Smokeless Gas Burner . . . . . „ 15s.

These Vulcanizers are fitted with graduated safety valves and fusible
metal plugs, and can be used either for steam generated from free water or
wet plaster.

They are tested before sent out far beyond the pressure required for
vulcanizing (viz., 300 pounds to the square inch), and are, therefore, per-
fectly safe so long as ordinary care is exercised; but no
Vulcanizer,however
strong, should be left in the charge
of a careless m- incompetent person.

The Graduated Safety Valve.—By means of this valve the pressure of
steam actually employed at any time is easily ascertained, by merely sliding
the weight upon the lever of the valve, until the steam begins to escape.
No india-rubber washer being required to keep it steam-tight, it is exempt
from the danger of becoming so firmly fixed as to render it useless as
a means of safety.

-ocr page 183-

The Fusible Metal Plug.—TMs plug is so placed in the cover that if,
from negligence or any other cause, the heat should rise to 350° Fahrenheit,
the metal will melt and the steam blow off. These plugs can be renewed at
any time by rivetting in a piece of the metal wire supplied with each
Vulcanizer.

0. Ash and Soss now make their No. 1, or largest size Vulcanizer, of the same shape
as Nos. 2 and 3, believing the castings of that form to be much stronger than those
formerly made. No.
1 will hold 6 flasks, No. 2, 3 flasks, No. 3, 2 flasks.

directions por use.

If wet plaster only is used for the generation of steam, the quantitj^ contained in two
flasks will be found sufficient; but if only one flask is put in, then a lump of wet plaster
should be put with it into the Vulcanizer. When free water is preferred, half a pint
for the No. 1, one-third of a pint for No. 2, and a quarter of a pint for No. 3, will be suf-
flcient.

The surface of the large india-rubber washer should be thoroughly chalked before
the cover is screwed do-v^n, in order to prevent adhesion.

The safety valve should be wiped each time with an oiled rag, as the least particle of
dirt would allow the steam to escape, and so spoil the work. A very slight escape of
steam is of no consequence so long as there is sufficient retained to keep up the required
pressure. The tube in which the thermometer is placed must be half filled with mercury,
so as to obtain a correct register of the heat.

To SoEEW EOWN THE CovEK.—So place the flasks in the Vulcanizer that neither the
cover nor the tube attached to it presses upon them ; then screw down the nuts with the
thumb and finger, and afterwards tighten them, first one and then the other, so as to
prevent any unequal strain upon the screws.

To Blow off the Steam.—When the vulcanization is completed, the steam can be
blown off by sliding back the weight on the lever of the valve. This should be done
gradually, and the screws of the cover should not be loosened while any pressure of
steam remains in the Vulcanizer, in order to prevent an unequal strain upon them from
the enormous pressure of the steam within.

Eemabks on Steam Peessube.—Especial attention is called to the fact that whenever,
from negligence, the temperature is allowed to rise above the degree required, the
pressure of steam increases in a rapidly increasing ratio, as may be seen by the following
Table, which shows proximately the pressure of ordinary steam at the several degrees of
temperature;—

250° Fahrenheit, 30 lbs. pressure on the square inch.

275° „ 45 „ „

300° „ 67

325° „ 94

350° „ 130

375° „ 175

400° „ 240

The above shows that, while the increase of pressure fur the first 25° is 15 lbs., the
increase of the last 25° is 75 lbs.

As the chemical action of the sulphurous vapour upon the inner surface of Vulcanizers
will in time reduce them in thickness, it is recommended that they should be examined
and tested from time to time.

These Vulcanizers are manufactured to supply the continually-increasing
demand for small Vulcanizers, whether for use in the work-room, or for
dentists when travelling, and also for those who prefer to have them without
the ordinary safety valve.

Hitherto C. Ash and Sons have met this demand by supplying those
made by other manufacturers; but the recurrence of fearful explosions and
serious accidents, arising from the use of insufiiciently tested or badly
constructed Vulcanizers, has determined them to manufacture, regardless of
cost, small as well as large Vulcanizers, which can only be exploded by
carrying the steam pressure far beyond that required for vulcanizing.

The vulcanizing chamber is made of wrought copper, nearly a quarter of
an inch thick, and the
malleable iron cover is held down by means of a
strong
wrought iron screw collar with set screws.

The thermometer registers 350° Fahrenheit, and the small fusible metal
plug inserted in the cover will only blow out when that degree of heat is
exceeded.

These Vulcanizers are tested, before leaving their factory, to a pressure of
upwards of 600 lbs, to the square inch, or nearly
seven times the degree of
pressure usually required in the process of vulcanization. An irf)n ring
with handle is sent with each Vulcanizer, to hold the boiler while screwing
on the wrought iron screw collar. It is useful also for turning out the flasks
when the vulcanizing is complete. The india-rubber packing requires
renewing occasi<mally to keep the chamber steam-tight.

This flask is made in three sections (Nos. 1, 2, 3), after a pattern designed
by Messrs. Bell and Turner, and is constructed for the purpose of avoiding
the evil complained of in the old kinds—viz., that of leaving a stratum of
vulcanite between the two halves of the mould, and thus altering the articu-
lation of the piece ; and not only this, but causing often a derangement of
the arch or position of the teeth, through the difficulty of getting the two
halves of the mould to shut down in their proper position.

■HP

By the use of the intervening plate B, (the invention of Mr. Bennett) an
exact fac-simile of the palate of the patient can be produced upon the
external surface of the vulcanite piece. It is considered by some that this
improves the general appearance of the artificial piece, and enables the
wearer to articulate with greater distinctness.

between the ages of six and seven years, or between the ages of
seven and eight years. The Bones and Teeth are perfectly
bleached, and are mounted on a Pillar and Stand, and covered
with a Glass Shade ...........Price 52s,

These Anatomical Preparations are not only instructive to the Dental
Student, but are useful to the Dentist in explaining to Patients the causes
of irregularities in the Teeth of Children, and why some Teeth have a
greater tendency to irregularity than others.

Second Dentition.

Showing the Nerves, Arteries, and Veins, in the Upper and Lower
Jaws, in connection with the Teeth ; portions of the Jaws and Teeth
being cut away for this purpose. The Nerves are exhibited on
one side of the Jaws, and the Arteries, &c., on the other. The
Bones and Teeth are perfectly bleached, and are mounted on a
Pillar and Stand, and covered with a Glass Shade . . . Price
70s.

A Preparation showing half the right side of the face, viz., the
Upper and Lower Jaws, and Orbit of the Eye, with all the rami-

ACHEOMATIC MICEOSCOPES.

Kg. 1.

C. Ash and Sons recommend with great confidence their microscopes and
microscopic apparatus, believing them to be equal to any made by the best
makers for accuracy and finish. They have for some years past included
the above in their stock, in consequence of dental students availing them-
selves of microscopic investigation for acquiring information in their pro-
fession, and also on account of the difficulty experienced by many in
obtaining reliable instruments at a moderate cost.
